Recently the world witnessed several demonstrations in Arabian countries being driven by the use of innovative technologies as social networks, including the power to overthrow governments and disclosure of secret data that compelled the international community of states through of Wikileaks’ site. The big change in the networked information economy in the public sphere is to provide tools that allow a citizen cannot be passive in the quest for information, but can participate in the construction of information and thus be active in the process of monitoring and ensuring a democratic course for his country, state or city. The main objective of the dissertation is to identify the ways in which civil society in Brazil, through the use of the web, participates of the networked public sphere. Proposed by Benkler (2006), the concept of networked public sphere modifies the definition of the original Habermasian public sphere, and seek new understandings about this concept from the possibilities presented by new Internet-relatedinteractive technologies such as blogs, web pages, social networking and others. The steps of the construction of this research were: 1) typology construction of ways that civil society can use the Web to relate interconnected in the public sphere; 2) case study of Brazilian initiative to use the Web to influence the construction of public policies to determine the relationship in the real context of these initiatives with governments and their process of decision making; 3) an analysis of the impacts of initiatives on the Internet in decision-making of governments from adapting the method of analysis political participation proposed by Fung (2006) called Cube of Democracy for the case study. The research results showed that already exist civil society initiatives in Brazil that are part of interconnected public sphere. In addition to classifying the initiatives and their origin (originating organizations or citizens), it was also classified according to degree of interactivity of initiatives, from those who provide what information with no possibility of creation of content by users to those that all content was generated by any who wished to participate.
